What's not to love? Insane levels of violence and Lee Ho-Jung's C cup! Gripping non stop momentum that shifts from tension to action to tension over and over again. No nude scenes but oodles of over the top Korean violence.

A novel feature from South Korea, starring that country's megastar Hwang Jung Min as himself! Although the concept was novel for me, this actually turns out to be a remake of a Chinese film starring Andy Lau that I haven't seen, called SAVING MR WU. The story is simplicity in itself: Jung Min finds himself kidnapped by a violent criminal gang and has to use his wiles to turn the tables on his kidnappers. The outside, police procedural scenes play out as suspensefully as the hostage scenario itself, and the actors give typically good performances (especially the girl from SQUID GAME, who I'm very fond of). It's not a perfect film, coming across as predictable at times, but like much Korean cinema, it does the job.

Korea movies are giving Hollywood a run for their money! Wonderful storyline, great cinematography and a little bit of comedy to calm the nerves, absolutely love it.

Korean thriller movies are giving me what Hollywood is missing these past few years. Hollywood turned to superhero movies while Korea comes out with original movies that are rare nowadays. And you won't be disappointed if you like Korean thriller. It's not perfect. Some situations are super dumb. But all that matter is that you'll spend a good time watching this.

Definitely the best action thriller I have seen in 2021. I found it riveting from start to finish. Unlike Hollywood movies this South Korean flick keeps it real. Superb acting, and fast paced entertainment.
